Abstract: A microscope includes at least one illuminating lens configured to guide at least one illuminating beam in the form of a light sheet for illuminating at least one specimen to be examined. The microscope also includes at least one detection lens configured to capture at least one detection beam issuing from the at least one specimen to be examined. The at least one illuminating lens has an optical axis at an angle ?, which is not equal to 90°, to an optical axis of the at least one detection lens. The at least one illuminating beam enters the at least one illuminating lens at an entry angle ? such that the light sheet lies within a focal plane of the at least one detection lens.

Abstract: A locking device for a cover of a glove compartment of a motor vehicle is positioned so as to swivel on an associated frame and is held in the closed condition by two locking sections of the locking bar engaging behind an associated locking contour on the frame. The locking bars can be synchronously displaced from their locked position to the release position in order to open the cover by way of an actuation element. In order to minimize installation space, especially in the area of the cover, the actuation element is positioned on the frame side and, for opening the cover, interacts with its locking section on the associated locking bar, displacing it in the opening direction, while the other locking bar is moved into its release position.

Abstract: A holding device for a beverage container, installable in a motor vehicle, has a carriage displaceably guided from an inserted position into a pulled-out position in a manner of a drawer, a sliding guide element which displaceably guides the carriage between the positions, a holder having an insertion opening for an insertion of a beverage container, the holder being pivotably mounted on the carriage, a pivotal joint through which the holder is pivotally mounted on the carriage, the holder being so mounted on the carriage as to be pivotable through approximately 90° to a side so that in the pivoted-out position the holder is located substantially at the side next to the carriage.

Abstract: The holding device for a drinks container is designed to be installed in the center console of an automobile. It has first drinks container holder (36), which is slidable upward in a laterally oriented initial position from a withdrawn position and subsequently pivotable into a horizontally oriented upright position of use. A first pivot locking device (60,62,64,66) is provided for keeping the first drinks container holder (36) in the substantially laterally oriented initial position against the force of a pivoting spring element until it reaches an upper end position. When it reaches the upper end position, an unlocking device (68,70) is engaged which automatically unlocks the first locking device so that the first drinks container holder (36) can pivot into the horizontally oriented upright position of use. A second locking device is provided for retaining the first drinks container holder (36) in the horizontally oriented upright position of use.

Abstract: A cover plate for the opening of a shift assembly covering with a gate in this plate for receiving a selector lever of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, the selector lever to be moved in the plate on a shift assembly. The cover plate must always be closed with separate mounting of the plate and the covering despite necessary compensating dimensional tolerances, that in arrangements of these two parts within the entire tolerance range, no visually disturbing impression is created. A cover plate permanently connected with the shift assembly covers the edge area of the opening of the covering with play over a covering area that takes into account the dimensional tolerances between the installation positions of the covering and the shift assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle ashtray has a housing fastenable to a vehicle, an ashtray drawer movable under the action of a spring force from a close basic position to an open end position, and a stop member arranged so that said ashtray drawer remains in a half-open position and is movable to said open end position only after overcoming a resistance.

Abstract: Pull-out sliding unit for installation in a motor vehicle has a sliding unit that can be pulled out like a drawer, which may, for example, be constructed as a drinks holder or as a tray surface, provided for installation in a fascia of a motor vehicle. In order to be able to remove the sliding unit easily from the device and exchange it, a sliding block engages the sliding unit and disengages by two wedges onto which the sliding block slides when the sliding unit, after being unlocked, is pulled out of the device beyond its open position.

Abstract: An arrangement connecting the dashboard and the center console. On both sides of the rearward face end of the dashboard, dovetail guides are provided which are formed by the detachable mounting of at least one dovetail connection element, are accessible from above and extend essentially in a downward widening manner. On the forward face end of the center console, dovetail guides are provided which are molded on both sides, are closed in the upward direction, extend in the downward direction in a widening manner and interact in a form-locking fashion with the respective assigned dovetail guide on the dashboard. As a result, an easily mountable, reliable connection of the center console and the dashboard is implemented at low expenditures.

Abstract: A holder for drink containers in a motor vehicle has a slider member that can be pulled out and on which are mounted pivot arms which, when pulled out, pivot laterally outward, and which, with cut-away portions in the slider member, form insertion openings for drink containers, and has supports which pivot downwards when the slider member is pulled out. In order to support securely drink containers of different sizes which are inserted, the supports are pivoted outward, forcibly controlled, by the pivot arms through half the pivot angle of the pivot arms.
